TRANSCRIPT
Transcript
Your two new penpals in China, Su Ching and Zhang Long, write you a letter
introducing themselves and their school. Listen to what they say about their
school life.
1.
Su Ching starts the letter by describing her daily life as a student.
You now have one minute to study the question.
我每周有四節鋼琴專業課, 除此之外, 我還要學習一些其他課程. 比如: 數
學, 英文, 中文等等. 在週末, 我會約上我的好朋友一起逛街. 除了逛街,
我還要做一份鋼琴家教. 教一個七歲的小朋友學習鋼琴. 這份家教工作不
僅能夠給我帶來一部分的額外收入, 而且能讓我提高自己的鋼琴技術.
2.
Next, Zhang Long tells you about his school.
You now have one minute to study the question.
我從四歲起開始學習鋼琴, 已經學習了十多年了, 所以我選擇鋼琴作為我
的主修專業. 我現在在武漢音樂學院學習, 這是武漢最美的學校之一, 是
一所專門的音樂學院. 我們學校除了鋼琴專業之外, 還有很多其他專業,
比如: 小提琴, 小喇叭, 笛子, 古箏, 南胡等等.
3.
Finally, Su Ching tells you about school life and her future plans.
You now have one minute to study the question.
我們學校每年都會舉行很多活動, 比如: 音樂交流會, 發表會, 音樂比賽,
名人演講等等. 我已經在這裡學習了 3 年了, 還有一年, 我將從這美麗的學
校畢業. 我將會取得十級鋼琴證書. 畢業之後, 也許我會去維也納, 因為那
裡是音樂之都, 以音樂聞名世界. 我希望能去那裡繼續我的鋼琴學習.
